Welcome back PNG’ers. It’s been a long weekend of Peggle, Resident Evil 5, and Warhammer Online so I am glad to be here typing up this very special Daily for you. Well, it’s not so much special as much as it’s just chock full of creamy game news goodness.

Awhile back I informed you that Gabe Newell was going to make it rain with some free downloadable content for the PC and Xbox 360 version of Left 4 Dead. Gabe Newell has finally proclaimed the day he shall make it rain, and that date is April 21st per Joystiq. He is both a saint and a sage.

Steve Jackson Games has a post up on their Daily Illuminator letting us gamers that enjoy some tabletop gaming in the vein of an FPS know that FRAG Gold Edition has arrived in their warehouses and will ship out next week. Notable changes from the original version is the board is solid instead of being a folding glossy piece of paper, figures are now plastic instead of being folding cardboard pictures in plastic bases, 18 dice, and dry erase character sheets! In my opinion, this is well worth the $49.95 and I’ll be hoping they have a copy at Gencon.

Rockstar Games has finally confirmed that there will be a Max Payne 3 and even gave it a launch window of Winter 2009. The post is on their slick website under the games tab.

Run, don’t walk, over to Steam if you’ve been looking to play Assasin’s Creed on PC and want to only pay $10. It’s Ubisoft week over there and they are offering a deep discount on a different game each day. Look for updates at Ubi’s publisher page here or in your Steam client.

Welcome to Pixels and Grids!

I'm currently in the process of giving PNG a new look. Expect a more personal one man blog type atmosphere with at least one article, review, or interview per week. All previous authors still have access and you may find a special guest post from them every once in awhile. Bro-Downs will only be recorded and posted on special occasions. While a shell of it's former self, PNG is going to stick around just for pure entertainment and diversionary value. Pop by every once in a while and as always, keep rolling those 20's.
